If someone you work with is always very condesending to you, are you able to stand up for yourself in a?

Question

professional manner, or is "tell them to kiss your azz" the first thing that comes to mind?

I am a Christian and I want to handle this situation in a wise way, but I think she is satan incarnate!

Answer 1

Flaming bag of poo, works every time. Other than that, I would try to be professional to a point. Is this person higher up at work, or on the same level?

Answer 2

I am learning as I get older that you have to tell people how they make you feel as soon as possible. The longer you let your feelings build the more animosity your heart with fill with for this person. I am a 27 year old black female from Washington DC I have always had pretty good office jobs and I am learning when I observe my older coworkers, they tell people exactly how they feel, if someone is acting like an *** then they let that person know what they are acting like. So get it off your mind and approach the person, and if you don't think you can stomach even talking to this person, write them a letter detailing how they make you feel and how there overall attitude is effecting your work space.

Peace

Answer 3

I can stand up for myself in any situation.

Next time she is condesending to you, PRIVATELY say to her, "I'm sure you have no idea how patronizing you sound when you speak to me. I would sincerely appreciate it if you would not speak so condesendingly the next time. Thank you." And walk away.

If she continues after that, then you know she is doing it on purpose. So now you say, "Now that I know you realize how patronizing you are to me, I have to insist that you stop being so unprofessional. I reflects very negatively on you and is not in the best interest of the company. Thank you." And walk away.

If it still continues, report the behavior to your Human Resources officer and tell him or her that you expect them to end this behavior.

Answer 4

I say come right out and call her on it. Ask very nicely "Why do you not treat me with respect?" And she'll probably deny doing it, and when she does, start giving examples, and then demand justification for her behavior. I find that people usually talk a big game but when you confront them about it, they can't back up their own behavior.

Answer 5

first off do not bring yourself down to their already low way of life
keep your head high and do it like a high class lady, and do not really show they are getting to you, once they know they are getting to you..one they won, tow the ride you harder for more low class fun..
stay a lady your much better than they are..

good luck
smile
and
God Bless
